• COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING ORDINANCE
The following questions reflect the criteria for granting this type of variance. Please
complete them, using additional sheets if needed.
1. How would you benefit from the granting of this Sign Variance? The store is located
on the comer of the section of the plaza that faces Home Depot. Although a sign exists
on the south side,which helps customers understand that Panera is located within this
plaza, due to the fact that the entrance is on the east side its difficult to know where in the
plaza Panera is actually located if you are in the Home Depot parking lot. This sign will
provide new customers with this needed sense of direction.
2. What effect would this variance have on the character of the neighborhood and the
health, safety, and welfare of the community? A positive effect. It will assist the
community in locating the new restaurant.
3. Are there feasible alternatives to this variance? Although just having one sign on the
portion of the store that faces Route 9 maybe deemed as a feasible alternative, it is the
applicant's position that this alternative,because this is a corner unit,maybe detrimental
• to the traffic safety of the area. Due to the fact that the layout of the site makes the
restaurant barely visible from on-site points of travel it is necessary to add a second sign
so that potential on-site customers can easily locate the store.
4. Is the amount of relief substantial relief relative to the Ordinance? No, not when
considering the plaza's layout, the fact that the additional sign will be almost non-visible
from off site, and the fact that when a store is located on the corner of two streets walls
signs on each side of the store are allowed. This is a similar case, the only difference that
exists is that the road that enters the plaza is not a public street.
5. Will the variance have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental
conditions of the neighborhood or district? No, the variance will have no adverse
effect. Actually, it will have a positive effect on the safety of the neighborhood and the
second sign will be barely visible.
